Relaxing beach house near beautiful Paraty
We took the owner’s advice and walked to the beach located 40 minutes away; we were suitably thirsty by the time we got there (carrying a toddler in that heat is no small feat!) and loved our lunch at the baracca. We also visited beautiful Paraty and generally lazed around on the nearby beaches, in the hammocks, and within close proximity to the much-needed fans! At one point an impressive thunderstorm helped clear the air although it’s worth my mentioning that as this is an eco-house, there is no air conditioning, which can be a little exhausting in the intense humidity and heat. I can happily say it didn’t keep us awake, though, and there’s always the sea to take a dip in during the day.
Harry (our meeter-and-greeter) was great, very helpful, and Adriana (our cook) was fantastic, very sweet and discreet; we’d barely notice her being there until a yummy lunch was served! I’m relieved to say that on no occasion did I stumble across a large, hairy spider!
